Log ??? with a different twist...

2xR yes to answer you simply! The recap has not changed for 18 years. The only thing that changed about the recap is if you get 34 hours off duty (being sleeper or off duty combined or 34 hours off duty) you get a new 70 hours.

So if you have 10 hours that you worked 7 days ago, you will gain that tonight at midnight. PLus any hours you have NOT USED that you may of had available today.

Thanks Notarps!

 

You are kindly welcome

 

Ok

1. 22nd (Friday) 10.75
2. 23rd 8
3. 24th 7.75
4. 25th 8
5. 26th 13
6. 27th 10.25
7. 28th 10.5


total is 68.25 so you only have 1.75 hours availabe for today (yeah the 29th)

8th day is today: You do the recap every day to make sure you are not going over the 70 hours in 8 days. Therfore every day you are working is your 8th day. Weird I know, but best way to put it @ least I think.



Now that it is past midnight (for real) you have @ least 10.75 hours to work on 6-30 Now lets say you did nothing all day between midnight last night and midnight tonight then you actually will have 1.75 + 10.75 hours= 12.5 hours available for 6-30.

Does that explain it? Would someone make sure I explained that right please. I feel I did!




8. Is today: Lets pretend today isn't over with yet ok all

 

No you pick up the hours from the 1st of the last 7 days and if you still have the hours you did not work out of the available hours on yesterday.


I think I confused ya when i said lets pretend it's yesterday, we only pretended for the recap reason.

So yesterday I had 1.75 hours available and did not use them hours, but @ midnight (this morning) I am ready to rock n roll (can't wait for a 34 hr) I would have 1.75 hrs (the hours I HAD available yesterday, but didn't use them) and the 10.75 (from the 1st of my last 7 days on my recap for yesterday, hoping you have the 8 day recap on your log sheet).


Don't ask me about the front of the log book, not sure about how to do that (ONE DAY I WILL TAKE THE TIME TO LEARN IT .

Did that sound right? Some drivers do it wrong and do take the hours they worked today and subtract it from certain numbers and have always done it wrong and never got caught. I catch some of those drivers and get the pleasure on telling them they are doing it wrong (some are cool most are beligerent thinking I am wrong, when I am right )
